This is the second week I wasted precious time procrastinating instead of working on my projects. Everything else just seems so much more interesting when I have to sit down and prepare to tackle a task. The annoying thing is that the moment my task is finished, all those distractions lose their luster. Garg! If I was in charge of someone who is prone to bad habits like mine, I would have smack them black and blue. Now if only I can inspire that motivation in myself.

Finance wise, this is the time when I should start putting my money into the market; after all, it finally dropped like I anticipated. Unfortunately, I got no moola. Nada, nothing. I had to shell out the big bucks for two classes this summers as well as super expensive books. So now, I'm broke. I'm still quite incensed that just one book cost a whopping $180. Didn't have time to order online either, since I managed to snag two very dedicated professors who believe in cramming the entire 16 weeks of work, not just lessons, into the short 6 summer weeks. Just 2 more weeks and some major projects to go.

Oh yeah, the cost of DSL shot up like mad. Just a couple of months before my contract expired, the price was down to like $15, yet by the time it expired, the price had went up to $23. And that was for new customers only, mine was over $30. I called in and negotiated with them and they offered their competitor's promotional price, which was $25, in exchange for another year. So in addition to paying double for gas, I have to pay extra for DSL too.
